Shauna Rolston is one of Canada’s finest cellists. Raised in a musical family – her dad Thomas was concertmaster and associate conductor of the Edmonton Symphony and her mother Isobel is a pianist, accompanist and longtime harpist of the same orchestra. A precocious talent, she began studying the cello at the age of three, and by age eight gave her first cello recital. She participated regularly in cello master classes, studying in Banff with Zara Nelsova, János Starker, Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, and Gabriel Magyar, and in Europe with Pierre Fournier at the Geneva Conservatory and William Pleeth at the Britten-Pears School, Aldeburgh.
